Dry Fire? Please Explain It To Me...

[nvmichael]

I want to dry fire more but am not sure how.

I'm using a 1911.

Do you just press the trigger?

or,

Do you cock the hammer, Then press the trigger?

or,

Rack the slide...?

Thanks for your help.

Steve Anderson wrote in another post;

You will pull the trigger on the first shot, then you will keep pressing it for subsequent shots.

On a 1911, there's usually enough overtravel to feel some movement.

On a glock, you don't get much movement, but it's workable.

on DA guns like Berettas, you'll want to release the trigger enough to simulate a single action shot without re-engaging the double action pull.

On revolvers, it's a perfect DA pull every time.

The purpose of multiple shot dry fire is not perfect trigger control, it's teaching your body to obey your eyes at max speeds without recoil, blast or the negative reinforcement of bad hits.

If you're only doing single shot dry fire drills, you're missing a whole universe of possibilities for improvement.
